The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed. Reason: It is a self-made map without any proper reference, made by a CU blocked sockmaster on eng.wiki, who was caught every single time for persistent hoaxing, socking, and making copyvios.

The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed. Reason: For proper reference, compare en:Taxation districts of the Achaemenid Empire and de:Liste der Satrapien und Satrapen des Achämenidenreiches (in the latter, it is noted that not all satrapies were existing contemporanous; and that they are also disputable when not mentioned in each text listing them)

Summary

This historical map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “Provinces of the Achaemenid empire.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
